6. THE GRAND PRIZE AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE:
There will be one (1) grand prize (the “Grand Prize”) available to be won , consisting of a voucher of up to $75,000 CAD (inclusive of all fees and taxes) to be used towards the purchase or lease of a select new Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac vehicle as selected by the winner (subject to product availability near the winner’s location, and excluding Corvette Z06, E-Ray, and ZR1 vehicles), subject to any exclusions identified in these Rules.
Maximum retail value of the Grand Prize is seventy-five thousand Canadian dollars ($75,000 CAD). Grand Prize will be in the form of a voucher and may be applied to the price of optional factory equipment, paint colour option, freight, and all applicable fees and taxes.
Winner is responsible for paying all costs in excess of $75,000 including incremental costs of any vehicle with a retail price higher than $75,000 and is responsible to pay in any event the licensing, registration, insurance, and all vehicle maintenance costs including fuel. If the winner purchases or leases a vehicle with a total retail value that is less than $75,000 CAD, then the winner will not be awarded the cash equivalent of the difference under any circumstances. Voucher has no cash surrender or other value. Cannot be applied to past transactions. Must be used in a single transaction (unused value cannot be saved for future use). The winner will be required to provide proof of insurance and valid driver’s license at time of delivery for the province or territory in which they reside. For the avoidance of doubt, in no case will any cash or other item be awarded to the winner; the Grand Prize consists solely of a voucher.
Some of the vehicles depicted in advertising for the Contest may exceed $75,000. If the winner selects any such vehicle, then they will be required to pay for any amount in excess of $75,000.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following general conditions apply to the Grand Prize voucher and winner’s vehicle of choice to which the Grand Prize voucher of up to $75,000 CAD will be credited: (i) voucher and vehicle must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable, assignable or convertible to cash (except as may be specifically permitted by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion); (ii) no substitutions are permitted, except at Sponsor’s option; (iii) Sponsor reserves the right at any time to substitute the voucher or selected vehicle for any reason with a prize or prize component(s) of equal or greater retail value, including, without limitation, but solely at the Sponsor’s sole discretion, a cash award; (iv) colour and other specifics of the vehicle will be subject to availability; (v) manufacturer’s standard warranty, if any, applies to the vehicle; (vi) upon notification, the winner will be required to personally take delivery of the vehicle from a dealership or other location within Canada reasonably close to his/her place of residence in Canada as determined by Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, and will be required to present adequate personal identification (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor – including, without limitation, government issued photo identification); (vii) Vehicle will not be released unless and until the Grand Prize winner first shows proof (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor) of having a valid and unencumbered driver’s license (equivalent to a full “G” class license in Ontario) in the province/territory in which the winner resides and proof (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor) of satisfactory insurance; and (viii) confirmed winner is solely responsible for all expenses that are not included in the Grand Prize description above – including, but not limited to, registration and license fees, insurance, accessories and all other costs associated with:(a) any amount
in excess of $75,000, including any upgrade or option package(s) that the winner may request (and that may be permitted by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion) that bring the transaction amount above $75,000; (b) obtaining a valid driver’s license, license plates, registration, insurance and/or fuel; and/or (c) taking delivery of the vehicle.
The winner of the Grand Prize must accept the Grand Prize, communicate with representative(s) of the Sponsor and/or dealership to select a vehicle, and take delivery of the vehicle within thirty (30) days of being notified as the winner. The Grand Prize will not be awarded to the eligible winner unless the eligible winner: (i) signs a release form releasing the Released Parties from any liability relating to the Grand Prize; and (ii) correctly answers a mathematical skill-testing question within the specified timeframe, as further set out in Section 9 herein.
None of the Released Parties makes any representation or offers any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality or fitness of the Grand Prize awarded in connection with the Contest. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the confirmed winner understands and acknowledges that he or she may not seek reimbursement or pursue any legal or equitable remedy from either the Sponsor or any of the other Released Parties should Grand Prize fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory. For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting the Grand Prize, the confirmed winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Sponsor and all of the other Released Parties if the Grand Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part.
